quote:

West, who at one point likened himself to Michelangelo and claimed he never doubts himself, said he often feels unwelcome as a designer in the industry of what he calls the “greatest art form.”

“I loved clothes before I knew f— about the fashion world,” West told journalist Lou Stoppard during the intimate discussion, which found him answering questions from fans, his peers and family members.


quote:

“They saw the 350 [sneakers] and acted like they didn’t like them because they’re racist,” he insisted.

So um why exactly does a rapper have his own sneaker? How the hell do you sell this to kids?

why would anyone even want to wear that thing? It looks bulky and massive and uncomfortable as hell.

Honest question. Do any white posters here wear "high top" shoes? If so what type of clothing do you wear these with?

I'm glad someone had the courage to stand up to this racist industry. They've had Uncle Toms, like that Jordan fella, letting them get away with murder for decades.

first off, he's an artist, not "a rapper". he's acted on SNL several times, drawing quite a few laughs. he's a proponent of civil rights. he's very involved in the fashion world and is basically an up-and-coming fashion mogul. he married one of the hottest women on the planet. if you couldn't see color, you'd probably agree that he's a pretty impressive individual.
